Fortune Magazine Portrays Hillary Clinton as Corporate Sweetheart

Easton uses list of rich liberal donors to substantiate claim corporate America is betting on Clinton.

After reading all 3,500 words from the July 9 Fortune magazine cover story, “Who business is betting on,” you might think it’s Democratic Presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)

According to the story, the liberal Clinton (who has a 95 percent liberal rating from the left’s Americans for Democratic Action) has assembled a parade of CEO endorsements – even from Republicans. Based on that, readers are supposed to believe Clinton is good for corporate America.

The story claimed one of Clinton’s biggest coups was securing the support of Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack and his wife, Christy Mack. “A Bush ‘Ranger,’ he had raised at least $200,000 for the President’s reelection bid and was one of the most prominent business names on the GOP donor lists,” wrote Easton.

But John Mack has never been dedicated to solely to Republican Party candidates. Dating back as far as 1994, Mack has contributed to both Republican and Democratic candidates, according to Opensecrets.org. Those included candidates anywhere on the political spectrum from Sen. Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.) (who has a 100 percent liberal rating by the ADA) to Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R.-Ga.) (who has a 0 percent liberal rating by the ADA).

She is. But that’s no surprise. Most of the corporates have found that actively working for the left breaks families and lowers labor costs. That’s why both of our political parties lean to the left on social issues. ...not to mention their leaning against active defense (Iran).

The following are Fortune 500s that filed briefs in favor of “affirmative action” in the Michigan “Grutter v. Bollinger” (Michigan University) case.
